DRAMOUS YETI

Michel Russel Lohoré, author of the book. (DR) The 2nd edition of Who's Who in Côte d'Ivoire delivered its list last Thursday. Numbered 72 at the first edition in 2019, the Who's Who 2020 contains the portrait of 82 men and women (including twenty new ones) selected by a pool of anonymous experts based on key criteria such as career, service record, leadership, contribution to the influence and development of Côte d'Ivoire.

Listed in a dozen sectors of activity, they reflect Ivorian know-how.

For Michel Russel Lohoré, author of this annual book promoting excellence, “when you join Who's Who, it's to serve as a role model for young people. It is a tribute and it is important to persevere in cultivating the values that motivated the selection. Because, if it is one thing to enter the temple of excellence, the greatest merit will remain to remain there as long as possible.
